bjohn, also there originally were TurkeyTV and Fifteen...I love RFen and Stimpy, Welcome Freshmen (fans of "Middle School the Worst years", the James Patterson book and 2016 movie might LOVE that one), Hey Dude and Clarissa Exsplains it All (now WHERE would good old Melissa Joan Hart be without that one.?) Rugrats and Spongboob suck. Interestingly, CatDog and the other ripoofs of R&S seem more to be "Animaniacs" ripoffs due to the scoring practice, I.E>, being more original rather than the Seely/Capitol, Emil Ascher, Associated, and Keith Prowse music libraries that R&S and Spongebob earlier so often used. (Seely/Capitol presence in almost EVERYTHING 40s-60s is well known..KP music cam be heard in the early Total TV (the Underdog/Tennessee Tuxedo company) cartoons..) -- Submitted By: (PokeyJHorse) on June 20, 2018, 7:00 pm - (0 votes)

It's strange, the station never honors their old shows. Shows I grew up with. Remember the beginnings of the network? They use to air shows that were from other countries. Of course, no one at that time knew that, this was the early to mid-80s. But those where the shows that where the building block of the networks.
Shows on Nick wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for, Pin Wheels, You can't do that on Television, Danger Mouse, Today's Special, Banana Man, Mysterious Cities of Gold and Count Duckula. But Nick tries to ignore them like they never existed. -- Submitted By: (bjohn345) on February 16, 2015, 5:20 pm - (1 votes)

Nickelodeon was bad enough with all of those ripoffs of the earliest cartoons (Rugrats: Ah! Real Monsters and Rocket Power, Ren and Stimpy: Angry Beavers and Catdog and Doug: Hey Arnold!), but once Spongebob came aboard, things only got worse. How many times a day do they play Spongebob? Just when you thought the media ripped him to pieces by labelling him gay,the creator releases the film. Spongebob has the most annoying voice in the world and yet almost everyone seems to love him. I don't understand. -- Submitted By: (tvwatcher7) on October 15, 2014, 11:41 am - (2 votes)

For me the magic was lost in the early 2000's when Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, Rugrats (though it did get unbearable later on) Rocko's Modern Life and all those shows got kicked to the curb. As some people pointed out, they were replaced with nasty, predictable shows and ripoffs (Yes, Rocket Power, Catdog, why do people miss that crappy shows?) I felt like they could've done better and made more quality shows like Ned's Declassified and Avatar, The last Airbender, but resorted to cartoons about people lighting their farts on fire with force-fed "morals" shoved in at the end. (Didn't they learn from horrible shows like Mr. Meaty?) But what really hurt this channel is that they show the same 4 shows all day long. I watched while babysitting, and they only show SpongeBob, Fairly Oddparents (both shows seem to have gotten pretty horrible, but they must still sell toys, so they remain on the network to be milked) and a few teenybopper shows. I remember back when they didn't show the same show twice a day, and they aired like 14 different shows. -- Submitted By: (Midnight) on October 10, 2014, 9:13 pm - (2 votes)

Nickelodeon boned the fish due to all of those darn Nicktoons that aired in the mid nineties. Literally, the network was flooded by Ren and Stimpy ripoffs. I love Ren and Stimpy as much as the next guy, but we did not need Catdog. Its like, for every one of the first three Nicktoons, there was a rip-off. You name it and they had it. Doug? Hey Arnold. Rugrats? Real Monsters. Ren and Stimpy? Rockos Modern Life and Catdog. I cannot believe children of the nineties are nostalgic for that junk. Shortly after all of those Nicktoons aired, Nickelodeon became the Nicktoon channel. Gone was shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark and even All That. Then, Nickelodeon mutated into the Spongebob network and preteen channel. Why do the people behind Nickelodeon cannot balance things out. -- Submitted By: (tvwatcher7) on September 13, 2014, 5:04 pm - (2 votes)

Nick definitely jumped the shark when the old "FACE" is replaced with an updated version of "FACE" as a Hanna-Barbera like character with an African-American voice. The worst part is he shows up at of nowhere with all of the Nick Jr's shows split-screened. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 10, 2014, 3:08 pm - (1 votes)

Nick jumped when the Jimmy Neutron ads came out. I'm sick and tired of waiting for a show to come on and this 5-10 minute Jimmy Neutron thing comes on between commercials. The worst part is when Jimmy and his "dog" pops out from the logo in the bottom corner of the screen in the middle of the show, and they're doing something to mess up the show taking up half of the screen. The worst one was during an episode of "Hey Arnold!", Jimmy and his "dog" came out onto the screen. Jimmy had one of his inventions. He rewinded about 10 minutes of the show (in 3 seconds). Then he fast forwarded it to where it was, and he did that 3 or 4 times. He rewinded it one more time, giggled, and ran out. He didn't even fast forward it back! So he wastes 30 seconds, and then I have to watch 2 minutes of what I already saw. Plus taking up half the screen, with him and his damn dog making noise doing something, drowning out the sound of the show I am trying to watch! They should just keep that little bastard out of the shows that he doesn't belong be in! -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 10, 2014, 3:05 pm - (1 votes)

Did Nick just want to imitate its arch rival, The Disney Channel? Why would it sabotage itself like that??? -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 10, 2014, 3:02 pm - (1 votes)

Nick Cannon. He is the ONE that made Nickelodeon jumped the shark for sure. He is nothing but a Kel Mitchell wannabe. I hated him the FIRST time he joined the cast of All That. He is TOTALLY not funny. He takes over everything including the network itself. He turned Snick into Snick House (which is PURE GARBAGE) and that LAME TEENick Block. Even worst, He has his OWN show which is nothing but GARBAGE. As far as I'm concerned he is definely the one that made the #1 Cool Network into an MTV Wannabe fluff. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 10, 2014, 3:00 pm - (0 votes)

In Canada, YTV shows all the Nick shows and guess what? It's nearly all SpongeBob, all the time. I've seen previews of that awful "Mork" clone, and thought it was gross when he barfed up a bowl of cereal and milk. -- Submitted By: (JayD) on May 12, 2013, 12:11 pm - (0 votes)

Nick seems to be in a downward spiral ratings wise, and it's no wonder. Their new live action shows now consist of iCarly spinoffs (Sam and Cat, Gibby, Wendell and Vinnie) and a horrible ripoff of "Mork and Mindy" starring that annoying Fred guy. -- Submitted By: (John63btf) on March 18, 2013, 8:54 pm - (1 votes)

It's quickly becoming 50% Spongebob and 40% Kung Fu Panda. It's possible to see the same exact episode of either show three times in one week. If it's a premiere episode, ten times in one week.

@John63btf. It used to be like that with Rugrats. Both (Rugrats and Spongebob) have gotten tired as a result. -- Submitted By: (johnnydough) on November 23, 2011, 1:29 am - (1 votes)

It took a while for Nickelodeon to bone the fish, but the Schneider overload did it for me. Nickelodeon quality has declined since 1999. -- Submitted By: (Northeastern292) on August 14, 2011, 7:28 pm - (0 votes)

Well for all you 90s nostalgic fans, I have some good news. TeenNick is dedicating 2 hours to 90s Nickelodeon shows. At the current moment they are only showing the programs that have been most requested: All That, Kenan and Kel, Clarissa Explains It All, and Doug. But I spoke with a guy on Twitter who is close to Nickelodeon management that says later in the year, they are going to start up a fan voting platform via social networks for people requesting for shows like Hey Dude, Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Double Dare, Rugrats, Kablam, and any other 90's program people want to request. What makes it even better is that the one in charge of this is an old 90's Nickelodeon icon we come to grow up with. Let's just hope that they start this up soon before people start to lose interest. -- Submitted By: (tvfan) on July 27, 2011, 5:55 pm - (1 votes)
